Cyber Clean is a cleaning compound that sells for $6 for a 75 gram packet. According to their website Cyber Clean is:

… a revolutionary cleaning compound! When it comes to cleaning action in cavities and where convention cleaning products have physical limits. Cyber Clean gets into cavities because of its perfect combination of viscosity elasticity and its patented formula, it absorbs dirt and any other residues and provides deep cleaning action in the cavities and on the surface!

Actually, Cyber Clean is a sort of neon goop, not unlike Silly Putty or a starch-based goop. But rather than being for enjoyment, Cyber Clean is designed to remove dust, dirt, junk, gunk, and any sort of loose material. Because it’s a soft material it can clean non-level surfaces, like a keyboard. It picks up loose grime and envelops it in the compound. And it doesn’t only clean, it also disinfects the surface area.

For a test run, I gave Cyber Clean a shot on a filthy keyboard. See the video above for the results.

Verdict? Not so great. The compound is does a fine job of picking up large, loose particulate, but it doesn’t work with anything that is dried on or just plain hard to pick up. The good news is what it did pick up stayed in the compound–it did not fall out or stick to my hands. On the downside, that stickiness covered my hands with a odorous moisture that was far from pleasant, though this wetness is probably how Cyber Clean does it’s germ killing. The firmness of the compound meant that it could go most of the way down between keys, but not all the way.

You can read about more uses here. In practice Cyber Clean is more more effective at certain applications than it is at others, so it’s probably best used a tool in your cleaning arsenal or something easy to keep at your desk. That said, there isn’t much that is can do that a damp rag can’t.

Cyber Clean has a YouTube channel where you can see a number of user reviews. People, on the whole, seem pretty happy with it, especially this guy.

You’re so right, I just gave it a try on my keyboard today. I got interested in it two days ago, after I had seen the ad on the internet. It seemed to be just what I wanted. I am disappointed to find out, that it didn’t clean, the sticky dry dirt, the keyboard had, it was just a waste of money. It only cleans easy dust, anything that is easy to pick up, that way it sticks onto it. To clean something dry and hard, the good old piece of cotton wool and a bottle of anticeptic will do the job, but that is pain for your fingers.

I bought some a few months ago and really liked it. However, I got it out today to clean my computer and it has turned into a sticky, gooey mess which is impossible to use and took forever to clean off of my hands. Not worth the money.
